we're moving!

That's right. We're moving but not outside of Panama City. We decided to move off base to a house in a nearby neighborhood. It's 1413 sq. ft. and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It's a little smaller than our house on base, but here's what it has that our base house doesn't: a 2-car garage, a dishwasher, and 2 bathrooms! Those are the best parts of the house. Plus it has a privacy fence that Ruby will (hopefully) not be able to climb. We're moving in on August 28 and our new address will be 723 Michael Drive, Panama City, FL 32404. More updates and photos to come!

move over, tim allen...

I'm the Tool Man now. I just took a basic maintenance course at the auto hobby shop on base and now I know how to do the following things:
* change my oil and oil filter
* change my engine air filter
* change my cabin air filter
* change my wiper blades
* adjust my headlights
* where my battery, catalytic converter, muffler, fuel line, heat shield, fuse box, and brake and clutch fluid containers are.

I feel like a car genius! Especially since before this, I new how to check my oil and that's it. I even went to the car parts store and bought filters and oil and hose pumps and installed them all. Go me!

The funniest thing about all this is: now I know more about maintaining our cars than Kevin does.
